Seahawk men’s basketball
welcomes some fresh talent onto
the court this season with two new
faces and a host of returning play­ers
ready to romp. After the Ro­tary
Capital Classic two weekends
ago the team's record was 2-4.
Winning against Washington
Bible College and then Polytech­nic
in the Rotary Torunament was
a good boost for the team. After
only about a month together, the
players seem finally to be getting
the "chemistry" balanced, as new
assistant coach Guy Carcillo puts
it. "It's hard sometimes to balance
out all the egos," he adds.
New player Jason Turner, a
tansfer from a University of Cali­fornia
division one team, sees the
team "beginning to gel" and win
more games as they get to know
each other and learn how to play as
a team.
In the Rotary Capital Classic
hosted here December 1-2, the team
won the first round against Poly­technic
73-53. They lost in the
finals against Drew University.
Although head coach Jay Gar­diner
had to make some cuts from
the team this year, he expects the
team to keep it together and im­prove
their record. "We're asking
the players to work hard and we're
asking them to give us all they
can," he says, "if we keep up the
defense and rebound we should
play well."

Team Spirit Improves Performance
by Carolyn Ross
The SMC women's basketball
team though low on scoring points
is not low in intensity and enthusi­asm.
Just three weeks into the season
the young team has played only
six games together and is looking
forward to the rest of their sched­ule.
"We played incredibly well
against Shenandoah," says second
year team member Thaeda Jackson
of the December 2 game who sees
the team getting better the more
they work together. "We may not
be the Lakers but we sure do have
a lot of heart," she adds.
Their hearts are something these
players might have to count on to
help keep up the hustle around the
court as the number of returning
players this year is low. However
there are many "bright spots" on
the team this year according to
coach Sally Bondurant who has
coached at SMC in previous years.
New player Eleanor Davis shows
great promise. Her former H.S.
team experience is important, adds
Bondurant.
Others Bondurant counts on for
continuing support to the team are
senior members Jennifer Malone
and Mary Avis. Avis was not able
to play this last semester but is
expected to return next semester.
The team's first loss in the
exhibition game with what was
supposed to be the Danish Na­tional
Women's team, but actually
turned out to be a Swedish women's
team, at the end of October, was
not an example of the team's po­tential
talent, but it was indeed an
example of their tenacity. "It was a
game that should just never have
been played...those two teams did
not belong on the same court to­gether,"
says Bondurant. "We are
a building team., many of these
girls have never played together
before," she comments.
However, as Jackson puts
it, "we just never give up!"
Swimmers Succeed In New Conference
by Carolyn Ross
The Seahawk swimming sea­son
is halfway over; the champi­onship
women's team now with a
5-0 conference record and the men's
team 2-0 in the conference. The
season continues next semester on
January 17 with a home meet against
Gallaudet at 7pm.
In between swimmers will again
travel to Miami, Florida for winter
training which most of the team is
expected to attend this year.
The only team with which SMC
has met defeat was Catholic Uni­versity
on November 11. In that
meet many individual and team
records were broken. Rich Godbout
swam his fastest 100 yard back­stroke
while Mini Reasin swam
past all her previous times in the
500 freestyle.
Beating their arch rivals
Goucher on November 18, despite
injuries to many swimmers, the
women's team was able to quell
any fears they might have had about
their new conference this year,
though most of the teams they will
be swimming are the same. Addi­tions
to the regular schedule in­clude
Sweet Briar College a meet
originally scheduled for this se­mester,
but postponed until Janu­ary.
G
raduating this semester, Dave
Stevens, a valuable contributor to
relays and sprint freestyle events,
swam his last meet against Goucher
on November 18. His sprint tech­nique
combined with his brother's
Doug Stevens in freestyle relays
with sophomore Rich Godbout and
junior Ragu Kotval will be sorely
missed next semester.
Goucher's relatively young
men's team was easily beaten by
the strengthened Seahawk men's
team. New swimmers Darren
Gorman, Scott Sturiale, and Bryan
Clapp swam to successful second
and third finishes in breastroke,
butterfly, and backstroke respec­tively.
Although the Seahawks have
no official divers this semester,
Sturiale was able to pick up some
extra team points diving in the
Catholic meet
On the women's side, the only
new swimmer this season is fresh­man
Sandy Davis whose special­ties
include backstroke and frees­tyle
sprints. The medley relay
composed of Davis, freestyler Joani
Pliesse, flyer Kate O'Brien, and
Cara Hergan in breastroke has
become quite notorious.
With the addition of new swim­mers
Kimberly Sadler and Danielle
Chappell, coach Chuck Jacobs has
again been able to count on the
great depth of his team, an asset
that helps to win some of the closer
meets.
